Factory head unit with world class sound.

The factory radio was retained because of its great looks and very good performance. It also featured a 6-Disc in-dash changer and Sirius satellite radio.

The small space in the center console where the power outlet was is now home to a Nokia Bluetooth phone kit controller and a bass control knob for the Phoenix Gold amp.

The kick panels offer a much better speaker location for sound quality, so they were custom made to house a pair of MB Quart Q-series 6.5 " speakers. The factory door speakers are now used for the hands free phone.

The customer wanted to retain as much valuable trunk space as possible, so we opted for an infinite baffle (free air) set-up in the rear deck. We have had great success with this in European cars. It consisted of two JL Audio 10" woofers and uses the trunk as an enclosure.

Here you see the baffle board before carpeting and installation. It is built very solid and mounted to the car with several 3/8" bolts.

The rear left storage compartment was a great location to hide the amp for a near invisible installation. The amp is a Phoenix Gold ZX450 (75Wx4) with the rear channels bridged for the subs.
